Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
The other day I was talking to a coworker about her upcoming wedding that she’s been planning for almost a year. “I still have 4 months left and now it feels like I’m just waiting around!” she exclaimed and then sighed. Now, I’m all for taking as long as you need for an engagement (my husband and I were engaged about 8 months before our wedding) but I love it… Keep Reading
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek at this NE Portland wedding! You know the wedding is going to be amazing when the engagement photos were an adventure that included sliding down coastal sand cliffs, walking barefoot on boulders to get close to crashing ocean waves and so much laughter and smiles you feel like you’ve known the couple for ages. Enter Alicia and Anthony, the sweetest couple who… Keep Reading
I remember the day I went into labor so very clearly. It’s obviously a day I’ll never forget, right up until my sweet sweet epidural started really kicking in. Then things got a little hazy and from that point on, it was one big blur until the moment our little girl arrived. I didn’t know how badly I wanted a birth photographer until I had one and luckily the amazingly… Keep Reading
I made it a goal to blog more this year (which I also think was my goal last year!) so with the year rapidly speeding to an end, I’m actually going to blog a wedding, specifically April and Sam’s wedding on 8-18-18! It was a perfect day for this pair who met in Santa Barbara and made their journey together to Oregon. The weather was warm, the sun was bright… Keep Reading
It occured to me a few weeks ago that Katy was one of the very first people I met when I moved to Portland. She actually trained me at the job that moved me up here, and since I moved to Portland about four days before I started that job I can count her as one of the first people I met almost nine years ago. Crazy, right? While it’s… Keep Reading
Seeing as it’s almost 2018, I figure it’s time to share some of my favorites from 2017! I’d love to blame it on life with a newborn, but let’s be honest, this is par for the course every year! I’ve had so many wonderful family photography sessions this year and I get caught up in posting just a quick few on social media that I don’t blog each session as… Keep Reading
I had an abundance of mamma-to-be’s this past fall, which means this winter brought all the newborn babies!! I was in heaven and the first few sessions of the year were brand new babies, which I have a big soft spot for! I am known around my friends as “The Baby Whisperer” and nothing makes me smile more than holding those tiny squishy adorable bundles of joy! You probably remember… Keep Reading
I’ve been wanting to share this magical GORGE-ous maternity session for some time now, so what better way to start off 2017 than with this Wahclella Falls maternity session from this past fall? Megan and Todd are nature lovers and wanted a maternity session that reflected their love for the outdoors. I’ve been dying to shoot in the Columbia River Gorge for some time now, so we picked Halloween and… Keep Reading
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” – David Viscott I love weddings. NO. I love love LOVE weddings. It never fails that I shed tears at every wedding I go to. Now that I get to be the photogrpaher at some of them, it never fails that I come home exhausted but elated, telling myself “THIS is why I love shooting weddings!” as I… Keep Reading
“Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.”— Jennifer Smith So, I guess it’s been a while since I hit the “post” button here on my blog…my apologies! I haven’t put my camera down by any means, but life has gotten a little crazier since I started a new position at my day job back in January! A good kind… Keep Reading
I like to call M and her folks my first clients, as they were the family that marked my portfolio building last year. I feel I’ve come a long way since then, and every time I see M, I just can’t believe how much she’s grown since the last session! Every session, she gets a little more into having me and my camera up in her space and this past… Keep Reading
October was sure a busy month for me! It was not only great weather, but that perfect time for the Northwest fall to shine. The leaves were unreal and the beautiful afternoon light made for such great photo sessions! I had a great time seeing photographing the proud parents to be back in January, and now the TWINS are already over 6 months. Time certainly flies, especially when there are… Keep Reading
